A little bit about us…

Looking for a nanny and nanny share (that we would prefer to host in our home) for our 1 year old girl—hoping to start with a nanny in July 2023 M-F 8:30-5. Ideally, our fit would be someone who becomes part of our family and will grow as our daughter grows. We would love someone reliable, energetic, professional, and proactive. Our ideal nanny would help with naps, feeding our daughter, doing meal prep for her, engaging her in developmentally appropriate play, talking with her, reading to her, taking her outside when the weather is nice, cleaning up after her (her bottles, dishes, and play areas), and doing her laundry. We look forward to hearing from you!
